Alrighty, here goes.
Stay with me here. When I turn to left, I get a "thumping" sound that feels like it's coming from the right front (under load). The harder the turn, the louder the thump, and it's frequency is directly proportional to speed. Axle on that side is very fresh (4 months). Sounds like a bearing.
When I turn to the right, I get a roaring sound that sounds like it's coming from the left rear (loaded side). Gets louder under tighter higher load turns.
Wheel/tire combo doesn't seem to affect these noises, so I'm sure it's not a tire out of balance. I'm thinking bearings. Hell, I just complete track weekend #41 on the car, so I am not one bit surprised if the bearings are shot.
So, should I replace the entire hub or just the bearings? Do new hubs come with bearings? I'll wager I'll need a shop to remove/install the new bearings with a press, right??
